I am officially in the 2-teens! Goodbye 220s! I won't miss you. I haven't been below 220 since junior high, or at least freshman in high school. I can't be too sure though because I never weighed myself. I'm basically going off of clothes that I've saved and how they fit, even though I've grown several inches since then so naturally my BMI is going to change.

I tried on clothes I've been saving since before my rapid weight gain, and some fit and some were too big! I don't need to shop for bottoms now because I've dug out 3 pairs of shorts, 4 pairs of capris, and 2 pairs of pants. All I need now are shirts that don't look like tents on me, lol.

Even at my heaviest, I had pretty good blood pressure. It averaged about 110-115 over 70-75. In an earlier post of mine, I was worried that my bp seemed to be higher than it used to be, even though I've lost 70 pounds since my highest weight. Donated blood today and my bp read 100 over 70!

I used to have dimples on my lower back, one on either side of my spine, and they have returned! Before, my fat "filled them up" and now they're back.

I can now see a slight indentation above my collarbone. If I shrug my shoulders, I can see my collarbone clearly!

I work in a movie theater and one of my jobs requires me to go up and down stairs all day. I don't get out of breath anymore.

My ticker starts the day of surgery, but from my highest I am halfway to goal! 70 pounds down, 70 to go!

Good for you! Keep it up! I too broke the 220 mark for the first time in 7 years this week. I am at 215 and 65 pounds to goal. Good luck on your journey.

Whoo hoo! Congrats!
